As it says above; there are 2 ways of bus options to go back to Xian, one starts from Dongshemen parking lot and another's from Xishan Gate. Which one is closer to the exit gate of the hiking area? And how far is it from the mountain exit/ticket gate?

Since the one operates from and to Xian Railway Station doesn't operate during Jan-March, we'll need to know how can we get to the Xishan gate from the exit are of the mountain.

Also, is there any public transport within the (paid) scenic area where we might stay at for couple of nights?
